Some employers have been blocked from recruiting on campus due to EEOC violations, questionable recruiting practices, and/or inappropriate solicitation of company services and products. The Career Center has a current listing of these blocked employers. To ensure that on-campus recruiting and interviewing is conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations the Career Center established the procedures listed below

UTSA colleges, departments, development offices, faculty, staff and student organizations must notify the Career Center On Campus Recruiting Coordinator or Assistant Director of Employer Relations two weeks in advance of employers visiting the campus for the purpose of the following career related activities (including, but not limited to):

on campus employment and internship recruiting,

information sessions or employer panels about employment at a company or in an industry,

employer classroom presentations and employer networking sessions.

All employer representatives wishing to interview or to recruit students or alumni on campus must contact the Career Center On Campus Recruiting Coordinator a minimum of three weeks prior to visits to secure authorization for interviewing purposes, for scheduling and obtaining interviewing space and to determine interview schedules and/or facilities if having an information session or career event is attached to the recruiting effort. This time lead also allows for effective eligible student outreach.

All arrangements will be tentative until the employer is verified to be a registered, authorized employer in RowdyJobs (Student Job bank); that they have posted a legitimate employment position in the student job bank and, if wishing to Table Recruit on campus, that there is a signed table recruiting compliance agreement on file in the Career Center On Campus Recruiting office.

If scheduling an information session on campus, employers will be charged a $50.00 deposit for use of the facilities and facilities support. If the need arises to cancel, the employer must cancel no later than three business days prior to the scheduled information session. If the cancellation is done within three business days of the event or information session, the deposit will be kept by the Career Center.

Upon arrival on campus, all employer representatives must check in at the Career Center offices (Main or Downtown campuses) to obtain necessary information regarding their scheduled interviewing and recruiting activities.

All student and alumni interviewing activities on campus will follow EEOC guidelines and procedures.

During the recruiting process it is necessary to safeguard student and alumni personal information. This information will only be released to employers only after the student/alumni has authorized employer viewing through the student job bank.
